One of the promised multi-person mounts in WOTLK, this will set you back approximately 16,000g at exalted - 20k neutral. No riding training, the mount just costs that much.Seems handy to sell greys, etc to while adventuring.

Comment by Krissam

Do i speak for all when i say: WHATTAFACK?

Comment by Brachamul

If you're willing to pay over 14000 gold for a mount, you probably don't really care about selling stuff to vendors. I mean, you're not gonna spend 14kg just so you can sell your grey stuff for 3g.

However if this thing sells ankhs and buff items, it's cool. Not sure I'll spend that much on it though.

Comment by Travy

Looking forward to this mount. Imagine getting people to ride it with you... and jumping over a cliff then featherfalling or popping a flask of petrification.

Comment by Dragonx92

Buy this where? Sounds interesting, maybe a mobile repair bot? The gold is a downer, but hen again we went from 1000g total for epic to 5100 total for epic blizz, if it followed its same jump could have made this far more expensive, so im not that upset about a 15000 without rep

For those who cant do math-1000x5=50005000x5=250005000x3=15000 (currently the mount without rep bonus)Edit: new price is 20000g so 5000x4=20000

Anyone can use the vendors. Even if they're not within your party. They seem to be just like the faction vendors standing in a capital city.

You can sell them items just like any other vendor.

Only downside is they are not faction affiliated meaning you won't gain the 10% saving you do if you're exalted. So people might still want to purchase bullets, poisons, and reagents from a "real" vendor just to save a little gold.

Comment by Dragonx92

if you are talking about vendors i totally agree

Comment by julgran

"This is a very fast three-person mount that carries vendors."

Does anyone know if there is any certain level you have to reach to be able to ride with someone else?

Comment by Horsemeat

I'd like to see any of the following to make this mount worth it:

- Repair Vendor- A percentage of the gold from items bought by other players goes to you.- A percentage discount on items you buy.

As of right now, it is merely a novelty thing. Any raider worth a damn should already have their reagents and such anyways.

Comment by Kathucka

The big question: Are the vendors summonable inside instances?

If so, repair bots will be obsolete. Engineers will hate it, and everyone else will love it.

Also, is there any benefit to having passengers, other than letting them go make a sandwich while you drive? (Well, that and being cool.)

Comment by Murderface

Looks a lot like the elephants from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. The 3 man mount is a very cool idea and I think it's cool that you can bring NPCs on the mount :D.

Comment by cheesepizza

Imagine! Helping out your noob friend getting him from place to place with ease :p

Comment by Jaedra

Any raider worth a damn would know that it is inconvenient to carry loads of reagents everywhere they go, it would be nice to have those 10-15 bag slots back most of the time and just whip out their vendormount and stock before zoning in to a raid.

Comment by andythegreat

The 3 seats on this thing are originally taken up by: You and the two vendors, although you can choose to kick one of the vendors off if you want a passenger, but to get the vendors back you need to dismount and remount.

This is something that will be really useful on long quest sessions or long grinding sessions.

Comment by Onitar

LOL i smell a wow taxi service coming, pretty soon Stormwind, and all other cites will be packed with a bunch of mammoths carrying people to various places. It could pay for itself in no time at all. You could also be a salesman for reagents and stuff in areas w/ little-to-no vendors.

Comment by Firecrest

I doubt Taxi services will ever end up being that popular.

First, I assume you will still have the same aggro range as a low level player wandering among high level mobs.

But more importantly than that... Why taxi when you can just Mage Portal or Lock Summon?

Comment by Onitar

Well what i say to you is, can you port people to Winterspring, WPL, Redridge, ect? I mean a Taxi service would do good for people with either 1.) no mount 2.) a normal mount and 3.) someone who is just plain lazy. hmmm?

Comment by glamour

This mount looks amazing, i really hope that the price goes down :( it is quite a putoff from getting one. Although if I have the money I would definately get this and taxi my party around :)

Comment by mutable

Can anyone confirm this being 5000g as Wowhead suggests?

Comment by bwirum

Sells for 5000g, meaning you can sell it to a vendor for that sum. Buying it is the usually 4 times that, minus any rep discount of course.

Comment by Nightvisionz

So, when the vendors are kicked off, and you have 2 friends mounting it, and you run away.. What happens to those vendors then? And how do you get "new" vendors on the mount?

Comment by MelikeWoW

How does aggro work on this? Does it go by who summoned it or who the lowest lev is?

Comment by xaxxax

So How fast will this be? have heard rumours of Ground mount in northeren that would be around same speed as epic flying mounts

Comment by axonaxoff

the rumors were wrong

Comment by Xyatron

Wrath comes out today, how can I even get into Dalaran to buy my Mammoth? It floats around and you need 77 to get cold weather flying... Mages cant port there until 74, so I will have to wait until a warlock is kind enough to bring me there.I farmed all that gold up, and I cant even get the thing tonight... thats lame.

Comment by xaxxax

After what I have heard there will be some teleport Crystals on the ground under Dalaran which teleports you to Dala

Comment by Naraxi

Ooooo I just love my new mount! :)

And this is from WoWWiki how you can get to Dalaran today :)

Mages can talk to NPCs in Dragonblight and learn to teleport to Dalaran after completing Attunement to Dalaran available at level 71.

Someone already in Dalaran can group-invite you for PvP at the city's Battlemasters. After you leave the battleground you will spawn in the floating city. However, the inviting player has to be of the same level range for the specific battleground pool as you, or you won't get the group-invite.

So a lvl 71 mage can get teleport to there, as soon as the mage is there, just group up, mage que for BG, join BG, type /afk and you are in Dalaran (you have to be 70-79 to que up with the lvl 71 mage)

Comment by bone123

find a lvl 72 mage in dalaran, he can sign a pvp grp in the sewers

Comment by Telnets

I got my mount, and if i kick 2 vendors off, I can only seem to get 1 group member to jump on, the other group member doesnt get the arrow to get on =o( Ticket in now.. but doubt ill get an answer in the next 48 hours

Comment by Marbleshark

Ok.. I have the mount.. but for some reason it is not letting me dismiss the people and people are not able to get on.. how do I go about dismissing them?

Comment by mondas

It appears that all falling damage is negated while on this mount. The highest I have tested is off the Shattrath balcony but neither myself nor my passenger took any damage (and the mount is not unsummoned).

I'm tempted to jump off one of the mighty cliffs in Northrend but not yet completely ready to tempt fate :)

Update: jumped off the Howling Fjord cliffs and survived. The mount desummons, but neither myself nor my passengers took any damage!

Comment by ghunt10

It's consider a vehicle, just like the motorcycle. Vehicles will take any falling damage instead of the players I think.

Comment by choclatetaco

even if you can summon them in instances or raids, who wants to spend 20,000G (15,000g if exalted) Just for a repair bot like action? its pointless, plus, if it does happen that way, engineers shouldnt care, we dont get paid for our bots anyways, you cheap dum dums.

Comment by Danaan

Updated: 02.11.2010

Hi folks,yesterday I bought this mount and took the chance to play some kind of taxi role in low level areas. I went to Stranglethorn and catched up someone who wanted to ride Tanaris. During that way I cought someone that wanted to reach feralas, so i took them for a ride. They were very pleased and impressed and enjoyed the ride. So i did. This mount is worth every penny of its cost, even for the fact that you have two vendors with you. My passengers gave me some gold for the ride and it was very funny.

And to clear something up here are some summarized facts about this mount:

The mammoth takes up to 3 persons, including yourself, resulting in 2 passengers max.

At neutral it costs 20.000 gold, 16.000g at exalted with Kirin Tor

Upon mounting you have two vendors by your side. One for things like reagents and repairs, one for things like food, water, arrows, ammunition, flint and tinder and a Draenic Silk Robes

To dismiss them you have three new Icons atop your action bars. Two to ask them to leave, one to unmount. If you can't see them you could press Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2 by default.

You can dismiss your passengers by clicking the corresponding icon atop your action bar (left / right seat). Doing so will make them jump out of it. Even wenn falling, but thats not very kind, isn't it? :D

There is currently a bug that if you dismiss the food vendor first, someone mounts and then you dismiss the other NPC, no one else can take a ride. You will have to dismiss both NPCs or the repair NPC first.

No, the money for repairs do not go into your money bag ;)

Mounting up and down takes more time than with a usual mount (1-2 seconds)

Upon skinning, mining or casting that would usually unmount you automatically will not work on the mammoth. You will only get the message "You can't do this now". So if you're going to farm herbs, mines or something else another mount would be a better choice.

The mount has got 5342 HP

The mount itself is Level 80, so if you ride into a lvl80 mob and you are below the mounts level it will attack you. Otherwise it will attack the mount.

It seems that speed enhancing abilities like Aspect of the Pack will burst the mammoth's speed, making it the fastest 100% carrier you will see :)

Interesting: In duels the mount is taking damage when mounted.

It will transport the flag carrier in PvP without loosing the flag

You cannot be polymorphed while riding the mount

You can do any emote you can imagine while mounted, and so your passengers can do. If you dance, you and your passengers will stay dancing until canceled. Really cool!

The mammoth does not have any kind of "roar" emote if you press the space bar like the draenei elephant. If you stand still the mammoth just jumps.

The mammoth is acting like a common mount now

Comment by sortemis

where can i buy the mount for 5000G? in Dalaran the mount cost 20000G.

Comment by kabes

Bought this for 18,999g at friendly with Kirin Tor.

It's essentially the coolest item I've ever owned in WoW. The only place I wouldn't use it is battlegrounds because of the slightly increased dismount time, also things you do that normally automatically dismount you do not work on this.

Is it worth the 20k? Absolutely!

Comment by BattleFreak

Since this is a vehicle, I'm wondering about how it will handle in PvP. Its kind of difficult to select the rider of it.

Comment by lunamoonraker

It's a great mount and I am glad I spent the gold on it. A few comments:

One thing I feel is lacking and that is any sort of sound emote, at least that I can find so far. Jump makes it, well, jump ;) It really demands some decent vocal like and elephant roar, especially given it's stature and status.

Just to confirm, if you aggro then you take damage whilst riding but the mount does not. So a low level in high level area could well pull aggro, even be killed, before the rider does.

Fall damage is absorbed by the mount as mentioned above. It has 5,342 health points. I presume that is fixed not scaling to rider?

It is not good for gathering. You can't auto dismount when clicking on a herb of mine node. You have to dismount each time then gather. And it takes longer each time. Plus the bulk tends to obscure whatever you are gathering sometimes.

Lastly, I have found that trying to click on quest givers can be a pain. Ad you are set up so high, you have to almost right on top of the npc to get the yellow exclamation mark, whereas on a normal mount it is more forgiving distance wise. It can be annoying if you are in a hurry.

But against these niggles, it saves quite a big of bag space; you can repair on the move and vendor trash again saving space when out; the fall damage reduction is good when exploring steep areas, or reach lower places fast! :) I tend not to use it as my default mount but occasionally for the vendor/ repair and always in cities.

I can't wait to see it's swim animation.

Comment by Niley

This Mount is not being affected by crusader aura. Tested it out and even thought i had crusader on, another pally easily passed me.

Comment by Sarris

I just wanted to post this as a warning to anyone thinking of buying this mount. As a warrior I like to run up to a mob mounted and simply hit my charge button which will auto dismount and charge the mob. This mount requires you to stop moving and manually dismount before you can perform any actions. The element of suprise is pretty much destroyed in PvP since they see me stop, go through a "jump off the mount" animation, meanwhile they are already queing up an attack. To give you an idea of this "jump off the mount" animation, its the same as all the new mounted quests where you take control of a plane, dragon, etc. You do not get a special pet bar though like in those quests.

I had an immediate buyers remorse because of this. Since I mostly PvE that feeling has since gone away, Being able to sell quest rewards and gray items instead of destroying them has probably made me over 1000g by now.

>>Update<< Just read lunamoonraker comments, and I agree with it 100%. I hope Blizz can or will do something about the auto dismount.

Comment by maggers

Yeah but for a GROUND only mount this completely sucks

Im seriously dissapointed in it,

like, what the heck man

Why isnt this thing a flying mount too.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Now thats what i want ..... 3 person flying mount

Comment by deadwish

Confirmed, there will be companions following the mount if three players are on the mount and had summoned their companions beforehand.

Comment by Bite

Here is an example of the mammoth taking fall damage from a very large height :)

Comment by Redcewe

The mount just seems to be mabey a "I am very rich" sign for everyone to see. Also the things you need to raid etc but you woulden't need those that offten unless you forgot your stuff, but you shoulden't if your a good raider. :)

Comment by Toastie

This is so because the Mammoth is treated as a "Vehicle" or Siege Engine. They take no fall damage. Feel free to hurl yourself off the moon.

Comment by Saka

Yup. No time at all. 20,000 trips around the Barrens can't take that long, can it?

Comment by Danaan

Of course it won't work. Its not a mount, it's a vehicle :) But i hope Blizzard will fix it.

Comment by Hippert

A really fun trick is to have people on the mount and enter the well in Dalaran. If you do so you will go to the sewers but your fellow passengers will fall beneath Dalaran and die. A glitch for the sadistic people on WoW :)

It's kinda random though.

Is it suppose to be that way, or is it just a bug? A friend of mine is tellig me that it's just a bug, and if so, well then I don't really want it as much as I thought I did :P

Edit:I taled to a GM, and he told me that it was intended that way.

Comment by Sandwolf

I have to admit id love this thing and i've seen people wit it on my realm but come on 20,000g is just @#$%in stupid even wit the 10% price reduction wit an exalted rep this thing will still set u bak 18,000g(really aint worth it just to have 2 vendors wit u)

Btw the vendors are a <mecha>gnome and a dranei

Gnome sells trade goods+repairsDranei sells general goods

btw that could b the wrong way round all i know for sure is the gnome does the repairs

Comment by disposable

Since it's usable at lvl 60 it's great for lvling you second char in style, i got one for my lvl 60 mage yesterday and it's highly recommended, then again i had 50k+ to my name =))

Comment by Darkmanian

Some people probably bought this without fully taking into account its full potential and practicality.

If your a guild master, or someone in general who helps lower levels to get to 60 (where they can then purchase their own 100% land mounts), then this mount is a real time saver.

There is nothing worse than being asked to help out, and then waiting 15mins for them to arrive at the location.

Onboard vendors and repairs, srsly make this mount a must have for any serious player. Rather than carting your greens and quest rewards around till you hit a vendor. Everyone including you can utilize this mount.Including any dungeon runs you do. When permitted you can mount up in an instance and use this also.

(I realize its not actually in the mount classification, but as it appears to be a land mount.. thats how I see it)

Comment by Morbul

If the owner of the mount gets sheeped they get auto-dismounted so the other 2 riders also dismount.

This is great for mages farming honor.

Comment by evlmike

A couple more tips for those of you with this mount: you can vendor and repair while riding this mount, so if you have a long run, you can set your autorun and then do some vendoring and repairing without losing time. Also, if bag space is tight, and provided you don't log out, you can use the mount vendors' buy back page to store some extra items. Just sell the item to the vendor and then buy it back later for the same price. While I would not recommend doing this with any valuable items just in case you forget or get knocked offline, it is useful in a pinch.

Comment by bosslol

is there a level limit like what if i wanted to take my 20 in SFK can he get on 2 diffrent acc.

Comment by bosslol

is there a level like u have to be pass level 20 or 60+ somethen like that? i do not want to wast my gold if it is only for 70+ people

Issues:1. The mount requires too much time to mount and dismount - an extra .5 second - Very annoying. An expensive mount should activate instantly or in LESS time.2. Clicking forward on the mount upon using it often sends it running in reverse direction from the direction faced upon mounting it.3. When mounted, there is an odd spot for actually being able to speak to NPC's or use the mailbox. It's off to the left side and is much more difficult than with a standard swift ground mount.4. When traversing shallow water (puddles, or even the UC canals) this mount ejects you, whereas standard swift ground mounts do not.5. On any other ground mount you can cast a spell or attack a mob and it automatically dismounts you and you're instantly able to combat mobs. With this mount if you approach and aggro a mob, you can't immediately attack, instead, the mobs are on you while you have to perform the extended, animated dismount. Those precious seconds are often the difference between winning and losing, and in this case are ALWAYS a disadvantage from what we're used to on a standard mount.6. This mount cannot /follow another mount.

It's unarguably the most impressive purchasable status symbol, however once you're past that you'll end up using another mount while playing the game, because those issues make this mount a burden and a lemon. Will Blizzard fix this? I very much doubt it. If like me you are dissatisfied, then the route to getting back your gold is to insist that this should not be considered a mount, because it fails to meet the expectations we have from any other mount we have owned. Getting back the gold felt great and I've used it to purchase swift flight for four alts -- much more practical and much more satisfying than having this on one toon. Especially when the only time I used it was to occasionally strut around Orgrimmar. 20,000g is too much to pay for something with so many annoying problems.

Comment by evlmike

From the tooltip: "Requires Level 60"

Or, in your language: "there is a level like u have to pass like 59 or somethen so it is only for 60+ people not a wast of gold AT ALL!"

Comment by bosslol

no not for me for the people who get on can a level one get on with me

Comment by VCast

How would you put other players on the Mammoth?

Comment by Redcewe

This is in the latest expansion to World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

It can carry up to 2 people or 2 vendors, its your choice what you want on your mammoth. =)Costs 16k exsulted, requires no new riding training but the epic mount riding training.One vendor sells regents and repairs while the other sells drinks, bullets, basic mats (Simple Wood etc), white weapons and a 50 gold robe with no stats.

This mount can be very usefull in a raid enviroment and also riding it is very, very fun. The ammount of things that both vendors together can sell means that your group or raid group does not have to go far from the instence to re-supply. When you are in a city you will most probably get asked by low level...Even high level players "Can i get a ride?", its part of buying such a mount you have to get used to.

Extra: The mount takes the dmg from any attacking NPC or player insteed of dmging you. Has about 5k HP.

Comment by smasher

Note that since it's a vehicule, it doesn't scale in size with your race.

So let's say you're a tauren, then your mount will be as big as a gnome's one. Which is really bad in my opinion. I was looking forward to buy it with my tauren DK but now that a single seat mammoth looks much bigger on a tauren than this one i'm just going to keep my money.

I understand why vehicules have to keep a certain size and can't scale down, otherwise a gnome's mammoth would be too small for a draenei for exemple etc, but it should at least scale up !

Comment by Airwave

I bought this today, and there are two advantages to it worth mentioning, other than the obvious ones (vendors and passenger functionality).

1. If you take fall damage, the mount dies and you get dismounted, while you survive. This happens no matter how far you fall. I jumped off of Dalaran multiple times with this mount and took no damage.2. If you're a hunter, you can use Aspect of the Pack to make it faster. Since it's a vehicle instead of a mount it gets auras. This means that if you're a hunter with this mount (or a someone with this mount grouped with a hunter), you go even faster than a paladin with crusader aura.

Comment by Pengwuino

Something I'm wondering. When someone pulled out their motorcycle in a group I was in, I hopped on it. We ungrouped and I hopped on it again successfully. What this makes me wonder is this: Can people simply jump onto your mount at random? I assume you can kick people off at will but can people hop on at will? I would feel kinda akward if i'm just running around then someone jumps on my mount for a free ride while i'm not looking.

Comment by Bsmx93

Dismounting the mount while peoples on it, and you are falling, will grant the passengers a parachute.

Comment by Frolic79

If this mount will be treated like a normal mount rather than a vehicle in 3.0.8, this will mean that several cool features will likely be lost such as:

- ability to fall large distances without dying, just a dismount- creating some targeting difficulty for members of the opposite faction in PvP- ability to get 130% ground mount speed with a hunter on the mount and Aspect of the Pack

Though this will fix some of the issues that many people find annoying such as:

- the long dismount time- inability to auto-dismount upon interacting with an herb, ore etc...- inability to move immediately upon mounting

Comment by Kurasu

However, the mount *is* affected by other auras. For instance, the hunter's 'Aspect Of The Pack'.

Comment by Sasquatchiii

Based on the cost, this mount should be bind on account in my opinion.

Comment by zearamoth

But if i am lvl 80 and carrying my lvl 1 friend trough a lvl 30 area will the mobs aggro distance compared to the lvl 1 (passager) or the lvl 80 (driver) (or maybe even both)

Comment by axinthevoid

Nice! Eventually I will be able to snag this mount, don't the the price discourage you.

Comment by Speeddeath

Im guessing this is a bug, but i see players mount on this WHILE mounted on the blizzcon bear.. pretty weird looking.

Comment by kittytaco

There are some additional bothers that are absolutely dumbfounding... like the fact that a vehicle is affected by wyvern sting's sleep.

While it is incapacitated, you cannot do anything at all-- no bubble, no ice block, no trinket, absolutely nothing.A warlock killed me once by the time a WS had faded :(

Comment by 7487

I bought this today and i can tell you its really worthless, as some have said, there are quite a few issues with this mount, such as the slow dismount time (imagien having a 2 sec "cast time" on your dismount in pvp, oh the joy) which is really a pain in the ass, to be honest, i rather have the ugliest mount in game rather then this crap.

At least i dont have to use 18 Silver nogger foggers if i want to fall from the great lift anymore.

Sorry for ranting, but 18000~ gold on this crap is not a box load of fun.

Comment by Vlad

Comment by Bobrik

They disappear.

To get them back just simply re-mount.

Comment by Vlad

... dismount button? you can get off the mount at any given time no matter if the mount(/vehicle) itself is stunned.

*edit*

True, you can sheep, fear, e.g. the mount and focus all damage on the rider. As long the mount is CCed in any way that makes "it" unable to do any actions then you may not dismount it and you can get killed while being unable to do anything back at the attacker... that is so lame!

Comment by cfeuer1

it seems that as of Patch 3.0.8 whether this is a bug or not....

The Traveler's Tundra Mammoth takes no fall damage. it isn't hurt, doesn't die, and the passangers don't get hurt either.

a massive downside of this mount is it has no water clearance. if it gets ancle deep you get kicked off. while the PvP mammoth can have nothing above water but "my" own head and still go.

Comment by oracle104

After jumping off the Great Lift, I found that my character took damage equal to the health of the mammoth. It seems they tried to fix it so the player dies from falling long distances but forgot to change the where the health is calculated from.

Comment by Dagangstakid

This will pay for itself, I hear the wow below level 59 taxi is here :D

Comment by Interlopper

Not working

Now considering rolling some cute girls (to pimp), any suggestions what i should choose (horde)?

Someone at Balnassar that can lend me 20k? Ill pay you back real soon

Comment by Tardmasterg

I Have this mount and to clear up the questions asked the most, here's what I got...You can jump from any height and neither the mammoth or any passengers will take damage. the 2 vendors are Repair/regeants and Food/water. This mount is great for farming/grinding but I don't use it unless my bags are full...so the loss of time trying to get an herb/ore is irrelevant since I fly around on my bronze drake. :D The best thing about this mount is that not many people have it. I usually only ride it when I'm bored and cruising around in a city just to show it off.....the idea of getting 20% or even 10% of the Vendor profits would be awsm. Trust me, just because I have this mount doesn't mean I'm rich. It took me over a month of farming on both my toons just to get it and now I'm broke. No one should have a problem with me making bank on something I spent so much gold on anyhow. Being able to boot Party members off is fun, if you do get this mount...take a few extra minutes, fly to the top of Dalaran (Violet Citadel Tower) and have a buddy be a passenger...then take the long leap down into Crystalsong and boot him outta the seat half way down. Its tons of fun and it'll tell you how fast their reaction time is. (Levitate/slowfall/bubble)One more thing, If you are an engineer, don't waste money on a chopper, get this mammoth first cuz with a portable mailbox + vendors...how awsm would that be!

Comment by Onitar

So still 20k?

Comment by Onitar

Oh yea, makes it hard to tagret in PVP because the mount-along with the chopper- has its own name plate thing: ex:<Traveler's Tundra Mammoth> Makes it a little hard to see as well because if its a gnome, their names get all mixed together. Good for PVP kind of annoying at times though. Also if you looking for some cool thing to happen when press <space> like when your on a horse, it rears back, the mammoth just jumps up in a goofy way and makes an annoying sound when you land. But hey, thats a small price to pay for a mount with built in repair and mailbox isn't it?

Comment by tchala

I just found a very intersting Mammoth bug

Whilst mounted on my Mammoth I tried to mount my Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade

End result - I'm mounted on my flying mount on top of my mammoth

Bad news (nasty bug) I couldn't dismount - I managed to get back to the floor but WOW thought I was still on my birdie - had to log out + back in

Comment by blademon64

None of the bugs you suggested were fixed in 3.0.8- ability to fall large distances without dying, just a dismount- creating some targeting difficulty for members of the opposite faction in PvP- ability to get 130% ground mount speed with a hunter on the mount and Aspect of the Pack

Though this will fix some of the issues that many people find annoying such as:

- the long dismount time- inability to auto-dismount upon interacting with an herb, ore etc...- inability to move immediately upon mounting

The fall damage was modified, so we no longer get dismounted when falling long distances.I jump off Dalaran when I'm bored.

Comment by Mattrocks

I love what this mount can do.

I am bloody farming lots of gold on my DK just to get this mount for my 69 Semi-Twink Hunter Main so that I can become the BG APC :D The fact that apparently I can carry the Flag Carrier while on this beast makes it even more lucrative. In my own opinion, I'd say this is going to be worth every little bit of gold I get.

It's also gonna look awesome on the 69 BM Hunter PvP Video that I plan to make, too :D

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Comment by Onitar

Can someone post a picture of them on this mount, using ironboot flask, with that cooking meal that makes you huge, elixer of giant groath, and winterfall firewater? It would make your mammoth like 4 times bigger.

Since patch 3.1, the mount is no longer a vehicle and thus you take fall-damage. It's now a mount + vendors (no special features apart from that). You can no longer target it either, it directly targets the main rider as all other mounts.

Comment by Deeptrance

Fun fact: If you have the Big Blizzard Bear you can mount it while mounted on your Mammoth. I believe this works with any mammoth mount, but, find 2 others with the bear and you get this:

I had some fun running around Dalaran, then treating my passengers to a plummet out of the Dalaran sewers, hence the location of the screenshot. Also fun was people telling me to stand still in Dalaran so they could get a screenie. Good times.

Comment by Dorque

Um, of COURSE I would never recommend this to anyone, since it's an exploit and will get you banned and it's a jerk thing to do anyway, bla bla bla...

But you can use the Mammoth (or the Mechano-Hog, I believe) to jump through the bubble in EotS, or the doors in Wintergrasp (although the artifact doesn't activate until the door is destroyed).

Both of these still work as of 3.0.9. But again, don't do them.

Comment by Runicgamer

Wouldn't the person you were riding with see you about to jump off the cliff and dismount?

you can make some Gold of this by selling a spot to get the explore title while thay AFKso that will get some of ur money back

Ways to kill my Traveler's Tundra Mammoth?

Jumping off Dalaran (nope)Jumping off The Twin Collosals (nope)Jumping off the cliff above Vengance Landing (nope - great fun tho)Jumping off Thunder Bluff (being chased by horde NPCs who all played lemmings with me - nope)

Running out of ideas here

It seems as if being a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth owner is the WOW version of extreme sports without the danger

The funniest one I did was a Dalaran jump with a friend without telling him what was happening and that we weren't gonna die - I have a slightly sadistic streak :)

Comment by cyprias

Patch 3.1 changed this mount.Pros:- Mount speed buffs now affect the mount.- The mount/dismount delay and animations have been removed.- Casting a spell while mounted instantly dismounts you like regular mounts.

Nerfs:- You're no longer dismounted 2 feet to the left anymore. So no more jumping past/into walls and objects.- You can no longer /follow your self and twitch back and forth rapidly.- /following a passenger no longer causes you to spin rapidly.- The mount's no longer a vehicle, it can't be attacked/stunned anymore. - You can't keep driving when stunned/polymorphed/iceblocked.- You now take fall damage on this mount.- You get caught on low ceilings now. Can't enter SW AH and bank w/o needing to dismount first.

The fun/buggy stuff has been removed. It's just a regular mount with vendors now. :-(

Comment by AdiSoare

After pach 3.10 if you jump from to high level you DIE!

Comment by Dorque

Bah...... the no fall damage was one of THE best perks of having this mount.

Blizz, why do you have to ruin the fun of players who pay TWENTY THOUSAND FREAKING GOLD to have one of these mounts?

I LOVED using this thing when I was doing the Wintergrasp gathering daily quests, since I can't use a flyer, it made getting around so much better.... not much point to it now. I'd almost rather stick to my Talbuk.

Comment by Dorque

No longer works as of 3.1.

Comment by Sindern

As of patch 3.1, you can no longer kick the vendors off to let people mount up. Likely a bug, but haven't seen a blue response yet.

Comment by RazerMuffin

It's the Hummer of WoW!

Comment by Treld

best mount in the history of WoW

now if they cud put it in the form of a supository

Comment by thenamir

The only thing that would make this mount better is a third seat for a banker, and maybe a fourth seat for an auction house auctioneer! Never have to visit a town again! (well, maybe, if you could mount a mailbox between the tusks...)

Comment by Bsmx93

These issues have been fixed in patch 3.1.0

Comment by Phoenix599

I decided to take a break from raiding after selling an expensive item at the auction house, in an attempt to save money for this...more of a personal challenge since it is so expensive even with Exalted rep.

It took me about three weeks of serious grinding for gold to get this for my Rogue, but it was worth it.

I can assist low ranking guild members who are trying to power level by giving two of them a ride and then helping them with their quests. Really helpful for those who aren't high enough to obtain a mount too. And it might also help them attain some exploration achievements more quickly.

I can help my guild or PUG repair/vendor, etc. without needing an Engineer to pop a bot, or wait while one person tries to find the nearest repair vendor. May be particularly useful, for example, for the Culling of Stratholme (non-timed run), OS, etc.

I would suggest one improvement, however. When you summon this mount/pet, an "overhead view" of the mammoth is placed near the upper right hand portion of your screen...and it doesn't appear that there is any way to drag it to another location. In my case, because of some bar mods, I had to move some UI bars around so that the mammoth icon (which is a bit large) wouldn't overlay something. Minor issue, but perhaps Blizz will allow moving it with the next minor patch (I hope).

What I am not going to do is jump on this mammoth at every opportunity just to impress others. Of course, if there are some horde toons around...I may have to stomp them... :)

Comment by Aisenfaire

Note that when you dismount and the mammoth vanishes, the 2 vendors dismount with you. (This can give you a heart attack if you've just found a nice node and suddenly there are 2 characters on either side of you when you get off to mine it.) They then say a random line before fading away.

Gnimo in particular says wistfully, "Nobody loves Gnimo..."

Comment by ro4eva

I'm glad I purchased this mount. It's so convenient. To anyone thinking of getting one, do it. You will not regret it.

Comment by uvaslide

Comment by vikii

Comment by Decurse

Note that you can carry members of the opposing faction on this mount.

Comment by Cyrus82

I'm planning to get this, I only need to save another 3K gold or so. (Well, "only" 3,000 gold is still a lot, but...) I spend so much time on my main working on esoteric achievements in the old world that this could be really helpful. And, of course, it's cool.

There's a couple things I'm curious about first, though: what if you get attacked? I see upthread where people are saying that as of 3.1 it's a normal mount, not a vehicle any more. OK, but does riding such a huge mount give you a bigger hitbox than usual? That could be unsafe. And what happens to a passenger if he gets attacked? Does a lower level player have his usual aggro radius while a passenger? I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) that if the driver gets dazed the mount vanishes just like a normal mount, but what if a passenger gets attacked and dazed? How about if a passenger gets crowd controlled, or killed? It would be best if they stayed mounted even if dead so you could dismount and rez them at your leisure in a safe place, but that seems unlikely.

Also, how big is the thing? I mean, I've seen people riding them and I think that graphically they're a little bigger than the other mammoths out there, but I'm wondering about game mechanics. Someone said you can't ride it into the SW auction house any more. What else can't you ride it into? My NE on a bear can't ride into the SW auction house or bank, but he can ride into most (all?) Dalaran shops. Will he be able to ride into them when mounted on this?

Comment by Maolrubha

Times have been good for Maolrubha. The speculative arms and armor market, specifically, have given him a certain standing. Yes, it meant a lot of time mucking around the Auction House. Yes, there have been losses. Who would have known that the 5 Ring wouldn't sell - just for curiosity's sake if nothing else? And it's been a hard grind. Long hours, cross checking prices, anticipating new gem and material trends. But it's been worth it. Maolrubha has made a hell of a lot of money. And it's time for him to take a break.

So he went to Dalaran - a place where he always felt slightly uncomfortable - and purchased himself a mammoth. And now? He's going on an expedition.

Out into the wilds of Silithus, perhaps. He's been meaning to get back there for years. Certainly a few trips back up to Stratholme - there's nothing more relaxing for a dwarf paladin than undead slaughter. And the Baron remains stingy with his unfinished business. Perhaps down to Stranglethorn Vale to corpsecamp some nubs. Who knows?

But he's not going to step foot inside a city, and he's sure as hell not getting back onto a gryphon, for a good long while. Nope - just Maolrubha, his mammoth, his two merchant friends, a worg pup and a fishing pole. Time to live from the land for a while. Get away from the hustle and bustle of Stormwind. Time for a vacation.

If you don't hear back from Maolrubha, don't worry. He's out there somewhere. On his mammoth.

Comment by Maakola

As of patch 3.2, you can now use the mount at lvl 40. This means if you've got a main char with loads of gold, why don't you just buy the mount to a lvl 40 alt, and it will make the lvling up to 80 WAY easier, and you'll not have to waste your time destroying all the grey trash. Instead you can sell it while running to the next quest area.

Comment by Blarnay

I think it should be noted that while it can make traveling in cities difficult, the height provided allows one to run through small rivers and streams that a smaller mount would otherwise swim (and thus slow down to swim speed).

Comment by coldviper18

The downside to getting any of these passenger mounts is there'd be no point to use any of my other mounts ever again. And variety is the spice of life for me. So no thanks. Cool to ride in though when people do use em.

Comment by VCast

I think Blizzard should re-make the "Vehicle" thing back on the Travelers Tundra Mammoth and the Mekgineer's Chopper/Mechano Hog on the Expanion Cataclysm. (And all other things that were a Vehicle.)

Comment by zajam12

how do your friends or people get on the mount

Comment by Roaan

This may SOUND really dumb, but its a legitimate question. Can the person riding the mount use the vendors on the mount while mounted? It looks to be that way, but no one really says one way or the other.

Comment by Smilodon

....Or perhaps move a dead body of an opposing faction?

Oh the games we could play with that.

Comment by Imakuni

For those of you who don't like where the "aerial view" is located, there are addons available which can move it to wherever you please.These include Capping Battleground Timers and Chinchilla Minimap. I'm sure there are others aswell.

Comment by Oakenspork

Any speculation as to whether the vendor items will be updated for Cataclysm, or if there will be a new version available? I would love to get this for levelling to 85, but I'm hesitant to buy something that will only have Wrath-level items (like food, water, reagents, etc.)

Comment by pbuhl99

Comment by Gandazar

In 3.3.0 the vendors on this mount still do not give the mammoth's owner a "faction discount". Does anyone else think it's a bit stupid that the people riding my own mammoth charge more for the same products than just about any bartender or reagent vendor in the game?

If anything, they should charge me less than a Dalaran NPC, or give me a small percentage of their profits from selling to (or repairing) other people.

I guess the people downrating this wanted to pay even more...

Comment by Ralnick

This is going to be a stupid qustion but I Dev a small Private server and was wondering if anyone would share the Script for this mount with the extra 2 riders mounted. For some reason i can't get the traders.

This mount is great for pissing off posers who pretend they're afk and stand in cities with legendaries equipped (or rare mounts, whatever). Just stand on them and ''cover'' them.

Hilarity ensues.

Comment by cece

I'm not too fond of instantly kicking the NPC's off every time I mount as I use Gnimo quite a bit when farming. To only kick off one of the NPC's, remove either FromSeat(1) or FromSeat(2) -- Hakmud and Gnimo respectively.

Comment by Minxette

Patch 4.0 changed this mount to show a much limited set of reagents and consumables.

As of right now I cannot get poisons over level 30 for my rogue on it.

20k (18k) for this would be a waste of gold at this time given the sparseness of vendor contents - perhaps the pony bridle is fairing better?

Comment by defleksiyon

i wonder if they are going to upgrade this mounts vendors to suit cataclysm needs (such as higher level foods/drinks etc.).

Comment by Enquillion

Vendors will not appear if you mount this in a city that is currently being invaded by elementals (pre-Cataclysm event). Didn't pay 16k to get two cowards :( one is even a machine!

Comment by Tweak69

Seeing as no one has mentioned it I thought I would, there is the option to have a flying version of this mount with a little different skin, once you start to work for the Netherwing faction in outlands all you need to do is mount up and your mammoth becomes a netherdrake with both Hakmud and Gnimo hanging below your drakes claws, this seems to be a new glitch / feature since patch 4.0.x. Adding a screenshot.

TESTED! First and probably only ever 3 player flying mount, so very stoked, very cool.

PLUMMETED! Blizz also seems to have modified how it handles the mounts when you exit the area, you now turn back into whatever mount it was before the disguise. So long story short, my dumbo lost his magic feather half way back and we plummeted.

Comment by makogurl

Are there any plans to update this mount, like with Cata food and stuff like that?

Comment by Jorlah

Being exalted with the Kirin Tor and with Guild level 24 Bartering the cost of this mount is 14,000 gold.

Comment by Talboth

With the lack of repair locations within/near Cata raids, this is probably the best investment anyone can make right now to help their raiding buddies. Seems that not many people are doing engineering right now so I'm seeing less and less Jeeves. Well worth the 16-20k gold.... I'm definitely picking this up before I get a Vial of The Sands.

You get an icon when you mount, that appears just below your mini map. It is shaped like the Mammoth and has a green dot in each passenger seat that lights when full. If you right click on the dot, you will have the option of ejecting passenger.

As of patch 4.3.3 this mount can be bought from Mei Francis, who is a part of the Kirin Tor faction. Normally this mount costs around 20.000 gold, but once you reach exalted you can get it for 14.000 gold. If this has something to do with being in a guild, the amount of gold might change.In order to ride this mount you must have Journeyman Riding, available at level 40.

Comment by Mendric

I didn't see anyone mention it, but this Gnimo bot is annoying as hell. Not sure why the hell blizz made it that way. It seems they go out of the way sometimes to make certain things flawed in some way. Gnimo will make his bot sound every single time you sell something. Maybe not a huge deal for most, and not a killer in any way, just really annoying. If your bags fill fast and you have lots to sell, you'll most likely do the quick repair on him, then sell all your loot to his side kick. I always bring it out in raids as well, and even when others are selling things, you hear that idiot bot noise, per sale... If you don't have the mount and not sure what I mean, try and imagine any NPC saying something EVERY time you sell something to them. So a filled 20 slot bag would be constant "Well met", "Hello", Hi There", "Good Day", etc. There's no difference and after wanting this mount for some time, it's really annoying, especially in raids when a lot of people are selling crap.

Comment by Mendric

One cool note is, if you use a port from an NPC to send you to another place in the instance (such as AQ40), only the driver need request it (select it) and the passengers will get ported with you as well. Sadly that's not the case with everything. Going into an instance with passengers will drop them off at the entrance without going in and they'll need to on their own. It's weird how blizz never makes things the same for everything. I mean, most portals like a mage portal for instance, you can click mounted and away you go, but there are some you can't. Dalaran's SW or Org portal you can click also mounted, but ones like the Isle portal in Shatt, it will just say the dumb "You are mounted" crap. Anywho, being a triple boxer I wish the passengers weren't ejected when entering instances, but was glad to see what I did just now in AQ40. Now if bliz were more consistent, then it would be perfect.

Comment by VindicoSolus

This mount was originally NOT going to be on the list of account-wide mounts in Mists of Pandaria. However, a decision was quite recently made to change this:

Comment by Bronham

I've never been much into achievement whoring or vanity items but I did get this mount a couple weeks ago for a couple reasons. First and most importantly, the repair bot. Any dedicated "wow-er" needs this mount so that you can repair at any time and don't have to port back to town. It's great for raids, questing, etc. Especially grinding (like when I kill mobs trying to get a crusader enchant formula to drop). Your bags can quickly fill up and this lets you sell all that junk so you don't have to constantly delete items. A huge plus. The other vendor is pretty useless now, as he only sells wrath items like food/drink etc but I'm hoping that he will be updated at some other time which would be amazing.

The other reason is that it's a 3 person mount. I made a macro:

/run EjectPassengerFromSeat(1) EjectPassengerFromSeat(2)

Which, when pressed, will kick out both vendors and allow your buddies to hop on. You must do this every time you mount as the vendors always appear. I was kinda hoping you could adjust the settings, so that only the repair bot would deploy but no luck. I saw some macros which claim to kick them out automatically when you mount but they didn't work for me. Plus, it's ok because some people might always get on who you don't want, like if you are doing BG's with your 2 friends and you only want those guys with you. You can click on the mount and eject any passenger at anytime, though.

My cons about this mount are:It's retardedly expensive (14k with guild perk and rep bonus). The rep is amazingly easy to get, do not grind for it. Simply go to the vendor in dalaran (Arcanist Miluria) and buy the kirin tor (I believe) rep tokens. They are dirt cheap,16 justice points. Even with that, 14k is a hefty chunk of gold for a mount but given the perks I think it's worth it. There aren't many multiple person mounts and no other ones with vendors too so this one is a must have.

Size. It's extremely large which I like when riding around but in town it is a hassle. You get stuck on every doorway which is a pretty big pain.

I'm very pleased with this mount but it could definitely be better if you could adjust the vendor spawns (only spawn repair guy), the other one sold relevant food/drink, could ride through doorways, etc. but all in all, the best mount in the game as far as functionality goes. Hope it helps.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention, you do not get repair discounts with the mount. Normal repair costs apply and you miss out on the 20%(?) discount with exalted. This too, should be changed I think; the vendor should go by your home town rep. I get guild repairs anyway but it'd be nice to not be charged a small "premium" for using the mount repair. Even considering this, it's a very small and insignificant note.

Comment by adsamcik

Equivalent for Mists of Pandaria (after no new mount for 3 people in Cataclysm) is Grand Expedition Yak

I think this one will be popular for its unique design, but a little unpopular for its price of 120 000g (Should be the same as 20k was in WOTLK)

Comment by Ixui

Keep in mind if you play both factions that while the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth is account wide, it will only be for the original faction you brought it for.

For example, my Horde Paladin had brought a TTM back in Wrath, and that was the only TTM I ever brought. Now that 5.0 has hit, all of my Horde characters have access to the mount at level 40, but it does not even appear for any of my Alliance characters. It's the same story for the Mekgineers Chopper/Mechano-Hog.

Comment by Skorgum

It seems that while this mount is account bound now, it is shared only with your Alliance toons. If you have this version only, it will NOT be available on any horde toons you may have.

Comment by zartan2755

As of patch 5.0.4 the repair vendor now sells the Dust of Disappearance and the level 86 and above Tome of the Clear Mind for changing your skills so no more going back to a main city to change you skills or wasting a slot in your bags

Comment by burns91

As of patch 5.0.4 and account-wide mounts, I assumed that it would be available on my horde toons (originally bought it on alliance side), but I don't see it in my mount list. I would think it would be the same, but just be the opposite faction version, like the 100 mount reward dragonhawk which works beautifully on both sides.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Comment by Snailians

With patch 5.0, even though most mounts are account wide, the Horde equivalent of this will not show up on your Horde characters unless you buy it on Horde.

I was very disappointed to buy the Alliance equivalent on my (Alliance) main, but not have it show up on my mid-level Horde alt.

Comment by Corq

It appears that this mount is faction specific. This means that you can only use the mount on the faction where you obtained it. A quick way to tell if the mount is faction specific, is to look at the items tooltip. It should say something like this "Races: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Draenei, Worgen". If you would like to use this mount on a character of the opposite faction, you must obtain it on that faction.

*edit*As of 5.0.5b, you no longer have to worry about the mount not transferring from one faction to another. If you have already faction changed, open a ticket and a GM will add the mount to your tab.

Comment by Arjuana

There are two things in this life that I don't regret: one of them was grinding Kaluak reputation and getting my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole which is the ultimate tool for Pandaria pre-flight circunavigation (and pesky undead PVP avoidance, why not?). And the other will be getting enough money to buy this mount and never, ever, again using a hearthstone just to get some repairs mid-raid.

Plus being a dwarf I can walk instead of swim in most of the shores of Krasarang Wilds. For the ultimate humiliation, even when swimming mounted I still get the "breathing" timer bar. Not on any Mammoths, no sir!

Give it wings... and you won't ever buy another mount. Right now, a ground one, for practicality, at least, you won't.

One of these and a bike can carry a 5 man-party... 2 of these and you do keep the repair bot...

Comment by shoutingboy

For Horde characters, the vendors are: Drix Blackwrench (trade goods and repairs) and Mojodishu (food & drink). (Strictly speaking, the item for that mammoth is Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth, but if you buy the reins on any character, every one of your characters will have the faction-appropriate version.)

Hi,

I just did the kirin tor rep grind up to exalted, so a few weeks after the launch of 6.0.2. First a few quests in Amber ledge and then a tour of Northrend doing all the WOTLK instances on heroic mode. They all give decent amount of rep. I also did Halls of lightning in normal mode a few times. It does give rep but much less. Mount costs 20.000 with no rep. 17.000 at revered and 16.000 at exalted.
